  • “Borderization” Continues in Georgia
    EURASIA “Borderization” Continues in Georgia OE Watch Commentary: In August 2019, the Georgian government established a police checkpoint near the village of Chorchana as part of an effort to counter what it has called the “borderization” of its territory by forces from the occupied region of South Ossetia (see: “A Change in the ‘Borderization’ Process for Georgia?” OE Watch, October 2019). The checkpoint initially appeared to have some effect and helped the Georgian government with public relations at a time when many in the country did not believe enough was being done to counter “borderization.” As the accompanying excerpted articles report, Georgia’s border with the occupied South Ossetia region continues to shift and the reported incidents provide an update on how this is taking place. The articles, from Georgia’s English-language news website Civil.ge, report on two recent incidents in which occupying forces erected “illegal A Georgian villager is left beyond the barbwire installed by the Russian troops along the South Ossetia-Georgia contact line in September 2013. installations” on Georgian government controlled territory. The first incident Source: VOA via Wikimedia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Barbwires_in_South_Ossetia,_Georgia._September_2013.jpg, took place on 14 January near the village of Chorchana of the Khashuri Public domain Municipality, at the dividing line with the Tskhinvali Region. The second incident took place on 20 January in the village of Gugutiantkari of the Gori Municipality. The villages of Chorchana and Gugutiantkari are in two different districts that do not border each other, but are notable since both made headlines in August 2019 – Chorchana because of the police checkpoint and Gugutiantkari since part of it became divided after occupation forces installed fencing.

  • Ethnobiology of Georgia
    SHOTA TUSTAVELI ZAAL KIKVIDZE NATIONAL SCIENCE FUNDATION ILIA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS ETHNOBIOLOGY OF GEORGIA ISBN 978-9941-18-350-8 Tbilisi 2020 Ethnobiology of Georgia 2020 Zaal Kikvidze Preface My full-time dedication to ethnobiology started in 2012, since when it has never failed to fascinate me. Ethnobiology is a relatively young science with many blank areas still in its landscape, which is, perhaps, good motivation to write a synthetic text aimed at bridging the existing gaps. At this stage, however, an exhaustive representation of materials relevant to the ethnobiology of Georgia would be an insurmountable task for one author. My goal, rather, is to provide students and researchers with an introduction to my country’s ethnobiology. This book, therefore, is about the key traditions that have developed over a long history of interactions between humans and nature in Georgia, as documented by modern ethnobiologists. Acknowledgements: I am grateful to my colleagues – Rainer Bussmann, Narel Paniagua Zambrana, David Kikodze and Shalva Sikharulidze for the exciting and fruitful discussions about ethnobiology, and their encouragement for pushing forth this project. Rainer Bussmann read the early draft of this text and I am grateful for his valuable comments. Special thanks are due to Jana Ekhvaia, for her crucial contribution as project coordinator and I greatly appreciate the constant support from the staff and administration of Ilia State University. Finally, I am indebted to my fairy wordmother, Kate Hughes whose help was indispensable at the later stages of preparation of this manuscript. 2 Table of contents Preface.......................................................................................................................................................... 2 Chapter 1.

  • A Short Report on the Advisory Service for the Local Self-Government of Imereti and Guria Conducted by the Fund “Sukhumi” In
    A short report on the Advisory Service for the local self-government of Imereti and Guria conducted by the Fund “Sukhumi” in frames of the project "Experience of the Visegrad countries to advocate the equal, inclusive and democratic governance" From February to July 2018, the consultative group of the Fund "Sukhumi", consisting of 5 staff members, worked with 15 municipalities (12 municipalities of Imereti 3 municipalities of Guria) on the issues of gender policy of self-government, organization of work of local gender equality councils. The "Guide" of the Fund "Sukhumi" - "Introduction of Gender Mainstreaming in Local Authorities" was actively used in the work. A short review of the current situation: local governments gradually master the essence of gender policy and issues related to them. This is facilitated by the instructions of higher authorities, especially the Ministry of Regional Management and Infrastructure, on the recommendation of which, since January 2018, all the municipalities of Imereti and Guria have created gender equality councils, approved the provision of the councils (the remaining municipality – Sakrebulo of Vani, plans to approve the provision of the Gender Council within the next few days). Part of the Municipalities of Imereti and Guria, with the help of partner NGOs, began to work on local action plans for gender equality. In spite of the fact that the instructions indicated that this is not a plan of gender council, but of a municipality, several municipalities developed and approved an action plan of Gender Council (Kutaisi, Tskaltubo). At this stage development of an action plan for Gender Equality of the municipality is carried out.
